CN 4131 leads four other CN geeps of various varieties southbound on the Huron Park Spur on the approach to Hayward Ave. and the CN/CP Interchange. At right is the LRT line which was fully operational the day before. I was at this location quite often last summer, hoping for an LRT/freight meet - got close, but not close enough! It also helped that I lived a couple kilometres away.

    Sounds like some inside joke…but I’m still confused. Sorry ‘Ricky Bobby’, I’m not going back for the meet shot. I already got one good enough for a record :)

    Nice shot Kevin. I remember this Saturday as I was at Canada’s Wonderland and it was sweltering hot and I was getting texts that L540 had five units that day. Glad someone got this.

    Ironically I almost got an LRT meet with L540 last weekend here too. Unfortunately, now I have to get in line Ricky Bobby.

    @Noe: Thanks! I have an excuse now for not getting the meet shot since I live in Hamilton but you don’t! I want to see your meet shot :) So does Ricky Bobby hahaha.

    LOL the LRT runs every few minutes, a meet shot should be relatively easy.

    The holy grail? CN, CP and a LRT. The rarest of the rare? GEXR/CP and the LRT (it happened!). Whoever has that shot pisses excellence!

    @SCH: A meet is easy – true…but up to Ricky Bobby standards? I question that. But, let’s see your shot to prove otherwise :)

    I’m exempt from getting the perfect meet shot. The pressure is on Noe! I may post something to the effect later…
